Status

Here is a page regarding status effects. The Last Story offers many different statuses that can be inflicted by enemies, inflicted weapons, or entering a magic circle. You can cure all of the bad statuses by entering a heal circle. The status effects can be good or bad; some are special to only the user.

Downed is an effect that causes the character to stay down after they have lost a life. To cure it, Zael has to have Gathering activated as well as run over the selected character to cure him/her. Mirania's Revive can also resurrect downed characters as well as knocked out characters.

KO is when a party member has lost all of their lives in battle, and therefore cannot be revived over time or by Zael's Cure. But if Zael is KO'd, you get a Game Over. Only Mirania's Revive can bring a KO'd ally back into battle.

Poison is an effect that causes the recipient to gradually lose health over time. Poison can't kill you, but it can decrease your health all the way to 1 if you don't cure it quickly enough. You can cure it by entering a heal circle or letting it disperse by itself. Vipers are the most common enemies found to give venom just by attacking them.

Sticky is an effect that causes the recipient to move slow. It eventually wears off over time or you can roll around to let it drip off faster. Sticky causes the recipient too slow that even jumping over things or trying to Vertical Slice may be impossible. Sea Reptids and Stinky Ogres are the most common enemies found to spit out sticky fluids. Mad Kraken can also inflict sticky. The weapon Leek has a 10% chance to inflict Sticky on your opponent. Furthermore, the weapon West Wing can be upgraded to have a 20% rate to inflict this status on enemies.

Usually when an ally has been inflicted with Sticky, you'll hear them complain about it.

Silence is an effect that causes the recipient unable to use magic (or the A skill, such as Gale). Over time it will disperse, but it's for the player to decide if he/she will want to use magic. Enemy sorcerers are the most common enemies found to inflict silence; but your party members must enter the Silence circle to be inflicted. To cure silence made by sorcerers, you can step into a heal circle, let it disperse by itself, or defeat the inflicter. The weapons Chair and Hammer have a 10% chance to inflict Silence on your opponent.

Instant Death is considered as an effect that causes the recipient to instantly die, or lose a life in this case. There are no known enemies that cause this effect, but only your characters can cause it to your opponents. The weapons Hoe and Axe both have a 1% chance to inflict Instant Death. The most efective weapon to cause this effect is the weapon simply called Death, it is a scythe with a chance of instant death up to 10%.

Muruk and archers are common enemies found to shoot the party with paralysis needles/arrows. The weapon Pitchfork has a 5% chance to inflict Paralyze on your opponent. Syrenne's Spirit Attack, Shadow Stitch can also inflict Paralysis. The most notable weapon to inflicht this, is the Para-axe/Lightning Axe with a 10% chance.

Stone Blades (Reptid) are known enemies that are able to petrify you when hit with its sword. To cure it, the players must wave their joystick left to right until they break off.

Nitro is an effect that causes the enemy to gain speed and strength. On the way to the Outsider, the Reptids released from the dungeon seemed to absorb its energy, causing them to have the effect. However, it isn't explained how some of the enemies in the Arganan Temple possess this effect.

Stop is an effect that causes the enemy to be stopped. When Gathering is at max, Zael must deactivate Gathering to Burst, and that will cause surrounding enemies to be stopped. They cannot move, so Zael and his party members have an opening to the enemies. Some stronger enemies such as Cave Cougars are resistant to being stopped and can only be slowed at max burst.
